This is a school forum where the school children, parents or any others concerned with education field are invited to drop their ideas, comments and thoughts! Come to analyse and evaluate the Algerian School work over the years.

Today, July 6th in Setif, was the closure of the training wokshop organized by the British council. The training covered teaching techniques; classroom management, dealing with large classes, assessing..etc. All the work was conducted by: Mr. Paul Harvey, Maria Corkery, Kieran Joyce, Joel Murray and Liza Pezzano who have been very co-operative, helpful and disposed to the trainees needs. For all the participants, please post any useful comment!

Hello.Really it was an unexpected event that gathered teachers from different regions. That was an oportunity to learn, know each other and have an idea about what is happening here and there. I hope it'll be the happy stater for a more positive vision towards a high quality Professional Development.I'd like to thank MR. Houari for the work that is being done and the efforts made to launch OUR WEBSITE. I am at the disposal for any help.Best of luck.

Believe me my dears in this seminar I found very kind and polite sisters and brothers . Active , determined , wise , friendly , more sociable and know what they are doing .

I'd like to tell you some thing. Before coming to the seminar , I did not expect that I'll find colleagues so friendly . So nice and helpful teachers . excellent and motivated lessons . we participated .we acted , we spoke to each other in fluent English .We spoke to our British Trainers fluently with out any hesitation . We did every thing good and every thing that the trainers asked us to did in this seminar. Believe me I won't forget that atmospher which we lived in Setif as one familly . I won't , I won't ,I won't ,I won't forget any one of the trainers and the the trainees . Believe me I miss all the members of the group (group 4) , We always were the volenteers , when Mr Paul asked us for any thing . I think , we were marevellous.

strong hope for succeeding in the TKT test in October . If God willing of course . strong hope for another meeting . strong hope for another Seminar .

So nice to see again one of the fascinating lessons devised by Mr.Paul. Many thanks to Mr.Houari for all his valuable efforts to serve the teachers and to make those who didn't attend the Training Course take profit. Wish to watch further lessons. Million thanks!

I hope that similar seminars will be organized with the same teachers and colleagues , if possible ( which is not ) . It's a little bit selfish but you know, we can't and just don't want to forget the moments we spent together . Above all , Paul performing the old man complaining : " You're ill just in the night ? he said" . Long life to the teachers of English all over the county.May god make this association of ideas fruitful and performant. Bye ! I'll end with a joke .A man who has just been beaten by his wife in a Bridge game:"How did you know that I had no hearts ?" _ " But I thought that you had a brain " she replied.

Hi everybody ! Thanks a million Sardoukislam for the link ( The TKT ).I'd like to contact Amal from Setif ( group of Kieran Joyce )so as to to put at our disposal, if possible , the pictures she took in class and for the other members to do so to enrich the gallery of the forum. Thanks a lot

I'd like just to ask a question: Has our work really started? May be I seem to be in a hurry, but I really want colleagues to speak their minds. Any theme concerning Education would be worth discussing.I find it very interesting to write, to read, to learn just to improve and know more. Being alive is embodied in one’s stepping forward to learn more thus acquire more. Positivism is the philosopher stone that turns life into a Paradise!Let's discover all the fascinating sights and misteries of this concrete space!Wish more success to our forum!

My first time on YouTube! How strange to see myself on film. To all those lovely people I met in Setif, have a wonderful Ramadan! I hope you are well and that the shock of the return to school was not too great! Please keep in touch. Myself, Joel, Kieran, Maria and Liza all have excellent memories of our time with you all. Paul

Hi everybody !Wonderful to read something from Mr Paul Harvey ! You know, for me it was just like a dream that meeting in Setif. I couldn't believe that we spent five days all together talking, joking, working, learning ...with native speakers. I won't forget those kind persons who are Paul, Kieran, Lisa and Maria.
